Bab 254: Plans Unfurling

Puay Kiow was emotional as Xing Han was leaving. He had been away from home for a year, and was only home for a week. Though she knew he was going to better himself and learn from Kyle, it didn't make the separation any easier.

Xing Han was her pride and joy. The one that soothed her and she hoped that he would be able to find that special someone to fill his heart.

A marriage, no matter how amicable it is, is lonely when you have no deep love for your spouse. He was nice and kind, but his heart was basically with his two mistresses.

So she spent her energy on her children.

Xing Han had always been the one that just knew how to shower her with the affection she craved. Her eldest was too much like her father. Distant. Her other two girls were not as distant but they weren't exactly close to her either.

She gave Xing Han a long hug, squeezing him tight.

"I will be fine, Mother," Xing Han said soothingly at her.

"I know," she answered with a smile, "Kyle is a good friend."
